For two extremely long years, the people of the world ushered in the new year cooped inside their homes. But that’s not how many, especially the millennials and Gen Z, plan to bring in 2023. If you count yourself in the list of people looking for an exciting party to set the tone for the new year, here’s a list of some of the best places across India hosting a bash on New Year’s eve:

Delhi-NCR

From Khan Market, Hauz Khas, and Mehrauli in Delhi to Cyberhub and 32nd Avenue (Milestone) in Gurgaon, there is no dearth of party spots in Delhi-NCR. But if you’re looking for something that screams NYE, then Soho Club at Hotel Ashok and Privee at Hotel Shangri-La are great picks. Famous ‘Amplifier’ singer Imran Khan will be performing live at Privee on the 31st, and the entry fee is ₹8,499. The Ramada, in Gurgaon, has multiple events planned at various price packages - Glam night at Cafe Rouge, Bollywood Fiesta at Emerald, and Gourmet Exotica, among others.

Mumbai

The city that never sleeps certainly knows a thing or two about throwing lavish, star-studded parties. While no one can promise a chance encounter with these stars, you can party the night away like one – either at the ‘black-and-bling-themed soiree’ at the Grand Hyatt starting at ₹6,234, or at the Grand New Year Festival at The Lalit Mumbai starting at ₹2,000 and comprising 5 different party zones, including a midnight pool party.

Bangalore

India’s ‘tech city’ has also been bitten by the party bug. Multiple spots are hosting events on NYE. The top picks though, would be the ‘One night in Paris’ themed NYE bash hosted by XU Bangalore. And the Aura Edition 3.0 at Courtyard by Marriott. Both of these are priced at ₹2,499 each. Apart from it, Ironhill, which claims to be one of the world’s largest microbreweries, is also hosting New Year`s Bash 2K23, with prices starting at ₹7,999.

After the party, you could drive down to Coorg and taste the first coffee of the New Year in the middle of coffee plantations.

Goa

Is there a place in Goa not fit for partying? There are so many options, it could get a little confusing for newcomers. You can party like there’s no tomorrow at the SINQ nightclub. Las Olas at Baga Beach is also organising a New Year bash featuring rapper Badshah, among other artists. And the Marbela Beach Resort is hosting artist Dubfire for its Masquerade party on the 31st.

However, if you’re in the mood to try your luck at the slot machines or at playing cards for the night, then Deltin Royale Casino has lined up a plethora of acts and events, including the best of Goa’s bands and instrumentalists.

Hyderabad

The city of Nizams offers delicacies, the famous Charminar, and a fair share of events for New Year’s eve. In one of Hyderabad’s most posh areas lies the Taj Deccan, a luxury hotel under the Taj group. And this new year’s, it’s hosting a ‘night in Paris’-themed event for the first time in Hyderabad. With the booking price starting at ₹1200, the event is ideal for families and friends.

Apart from this, The Park Hyderabad is hosting a Glitz New Year Eve Party - with three different NYE Parties in one place at a starting price of ₹2,499. The Prism Club & Kitchen is hosting Circus 2 .0 featuring artists like EDM music producer Nucleya, Techno DJ Rabz, and many other artists. The ticket for Circus 2.0 starts at ₹4,000.

Kolkata

The perfect union of history and modern culture, Kolkata is hosting some of the finest events for New Year’s Eve - such as the Capella’s Constellation NYE Celebration taking place at one of Kolkata’s finest boutique hotels, Altair. The booking starts at ₹7,000. Meanwhile, Raghav Chaitanya’s live concert will greet the patrons of The Westin on the 31st for a price of ₹3,999. And The Taj City Centre is organising a ‘31st Night at Crystal’ bash, offering liquor brands like Fratellin in wines - all for ₹3,500.

Chandigarh

An upcoming party hub, Chandigarh certainly brings more to dance nights than foot-tapping dhol beats. Here are the main events happening in the city on December 31st - “JazzyB” live performance at the Hard Rock Cafe, Chandigarh; Sunanda Sharma’s live performance at JW Marriott’s Sparkles and Shine night; and New Year Bash with Babbu Maan at Forest Hill Golf & Country Club Resort, Mohali.

Also, after hosting the EDM duo Hari & Sukhmani on Christmas, The Finch, Chandigarh is all set to host a night with famous Punjabi singer Jenny Johall and DJ Yamya for the New Year’s.

Jaipur

If partying like the royals is on your bucket list this year, then Jaipur has plenty of options to offer. The pink city is leading up to 2023 with singer Diljit Dosanjh’s live concert, as part of his Born to Shine World Tour. The tickets start at ₹3499 and the event will take place at the Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre (JECC).

Apart from it, there is the ‘NYE 2023’ event taking place at Clark’s Amer, starting at ₹7,999. Jaipur Adda, one of Jaipur’s most famous nightlife spots, is also hosting an NYE party, complete with firecrackers, unlimited drinks, a buffet dinner, and other activities. The price starts at ₹2,999.

Chennai

Look beyond ‘lungi dance’, and you’ll see that Chennai grooves like no one’s business.

Additionally, Radisson Blu is hosting a Masquerade Night with DJ Duke, starting at ₹4,499.
